Reading List: Ethics, Sustainability, and the Fashion Industry

April 2, 2020 By Annette

Hi there. I hope you’re doing well. We all woke up to a strange new world a few weeks ago, and with no immediate end in sight, it’s more important than ever to take care of our physical and mental health. Stay home, stay safe. We’re in this together. ๐Ÿ’– I’ve been doing a lot…

A Touch of Glam

February 16, 2020 By Annette

Today’s post is a short one, but I love these pics so I wanted to share them on the blog. I found this Canadian-made spider brooch (worn as hair clip) at a craft sale in November and couldn’t resist adding it to my collection. It’s beautifully made and a wonderful statement piece. I’ve been gravitating…

A Warm and Fuzzy Feeling

February 6, 2020 By Annette

I adore faux fur. It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s oh-so-snuggly, and it makes me happy every time I wear it. The one thing I don’t love about it is its environmental impact. Faux fur is made from polyester, which is not biodegradable. I chose this coat from Jakke London because of the company’s acknowledgement of…

On The Eve of A New Decade

December 31, 2019 By Annette

Looking back on the last ten years, it’s almost hard to believe how much has changed. I’ve had a lot of good times, and a lot of difficult times. I’m personally ending 2019 on a high note, having been offered my dream job earlier this month. I can’t wait to see what the next decade…

Slithering into winter

December 8, 2019 By Annette

Giving my daily office uniform a little visual interest today with a healthy dose of snake print. Adding an animal-print cami is a great way to rock the trend without spending too much to update your wardrobe. The brightly coloured bag really helps to make this outfit pop. Hope you’re having a wonderful day! xo…

Dear fast fashion...it's not me, it's you. The d Dear fast fashion...it's not me, it's you. 

The disruption to normal routines caused by Covid-19 got me thinking a lot about what my priorities are in lots of areas of my life. One of those is my clothing choices. I know the deep problems, both environmental and social, when it comes to fast fashion. Ive been moving further and further away from it in 2020, and I'm ready to  break up with it. Thanks @capsule_creator for your insightful comments about getting inspired to create content that doesnt revolve around a never-ending cycle of new clothes. I am shifting my focus to beautiful, ethically-made pieces that will stand the test of time. Wearing my ride-or-die @miikinc leggings and my gorgeous cropped sweater by @capsule_creator.

@capsule_creator wrote in her Instagram post today @capsule_creator wrote in her Instagram post today why she doesn't usually do sales, and it really resonated with me. Fast fashion teaches us to get the most items for the least amount of money. #slowfashion is about carefully choosing beautiful pieces for your wardrobe that will last you for years, that make you happy when you wear them, and for which you pay a fair price to the creator for their work. It's win-win-win.
